A survey of 87 Thai female commercial sex workers (TCSW) was conducted in Tokyo and surrounding areas to investigate their: 1) living conditions, 2) knowledge about HIV/AIDS and sources of information, and 3) working conditions and dealings with clients. Data were mainly collected by "snowballing" with semi-structured interviews. The results showed a majority of participants knew HIV could be contracted through sexual intercourse and that condom use could protect against HIV infection. However, some TCSW reported failing to use condoms despite having requested clients to do so. Reasons for client compliance with condom use were discussed. Although a majority of the participants underwent HIV testing at least once every 3 months, they did not learn much about HIV prevention through public information and education. The results suggest that workers and clients need more detailed information concerning HIV prevention as well as a greater accessibility.
对 87 名在东京及周边地区工作的泰国性工作者（TCSW）进行了一项调查，以了解她们的：1）生活状况，2）有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病的知识和信息来源，以及 3）工作条件和与客户的往来情况。数据主要通过半结构化访谈的“滚雪球”方式收集。结果表明，大多数参与者知道 HIV 可以通过性传播感染，并且使用避孕套可以预防 HIV 感染。然而，一些 TCSW 报告说，尽管要求客户使用避孕套，但她们并未使用。讨论了客户遵守使用避孕套的原因。尽管大多数参与者每 3 个月至少进行一次 HIV 检测，但她们并没有通过公共信息和教育了解到多少关于 HIV 预防的知识。研究结果表明，性工作者和客户需要有关 HIV 预防的更详细信息以及更方便的获取途径。
